There is a fact in this chapter, which doesn't belong to me, I got it it from "Australian Facts: 44 Facts about Australia. "


The Secret Life Of Casualty.

Chapter 154.

Cal was looking forward to a night in, with Ethan and a few beers, a takeaway pizza and a DVD, but it seemed that his plans were ruined when Max asked if he wanted to go for a pint after work. He'd said no and headed home.

"OK?" Asked Cal as he heard a key scrapping in the lock.

"I'm just tired " Replied Ricky, with a yawn, she was a photographer and she had spent all day photographing a house.

Just, then, her phone buzzed, she took it out of her handbag and smiled at her screen - saver, it was a picture of Cal and Casey at the beach. She headed to her inbox and accessed the recent messages.

"Can you mind Sarah - Louise?"

"Sure" Ricky typed a reply, she didn't know anyone called Linda. She then realised it was probably one of Cal's colleagues. She put her phone down and then walked in to the kitchen to make herself a chamomile tea. She got a mug out of the cupboard and put the chamomile flowers in to a mug, added hot water, she allowed it to infuse and then added lemon. She cupped her hands around the mug and took a sip as she walked in to the living room.


Over in her flat, Linda was packing the things that her daughter needed while she was with Jessica, the two nurses were going to drop Sarah - Louise at Cal's and then go for a coffee.


"OK, I'm coming " Ricky walked in to the hallway and unlocked the door.

"Right, " Linda took off her daughters backpack. "Her doll, Britany, is in there, as well, as a spare pair of clothes, juice boxes "

"Sure, " Ricky replied, taking the bag off her and putting it on the floor.

"Be good " Linda bent down and kissed her daughter on the head.

"Why don't we put the Tweenies on?" Ricky suggested as she lifted Sarah - Louise on to the couch and took the TV remote off the coffee table and pointed it at the TV.

"Babe, " Said Ricky as she stood up, Casey in her arms, Cal looked up as she continued. "I'm going for a bath "

"Alright "

Heading out of the living room, Ricky walked up the stairs and in to the bathroom, sitting on the edge of the bath, Ricky turned the taps on and poured bubble bath in to the water.

She walked across the landing to put Casey down in his cot.

While Cal was watching the match that was on TV, Sarah - Louise had got off the couch, took her doll and wandered up the stairs, Ricky had asked Cal to put up the baby gate so that when Casey began to crawl he wouldn't be able to get up and down the stairs on his own.

The girl walked in to the bathroom and leaned over the bath, dropping her doll. When, she tried to grab the doll, she reached over too far and fell in.

Ricky walked across the landing and opened the door.

"Cal!" Ricky screamed.

"Rick, what's wrong?" Cal ran up the stairs when he heard his partner screaming.

Cal walked in to the bathroom to see Sarah - Louise, face down.

He cursed. "Shit "

"Pull her out, " Cal instructed. Ricky did as she was asked. "Put your hands together and pound up and down on her chest, until she breathes or splutters "

"OK" She whispered to herself as she prepared to give the CPR.

Cal called an ambulance.


"This is Sarah - Louise Andrews, 2 - years - old, found unconscious in the bath, CPR administered at the scene" Paramedics reeled off her medical details.

"RESUS" Said Zoe, she looked at the girl, lying on the stretcher and sighed, as she was the girl's Godmother, when Linda chose to have the girl christened, she had chosen Jessica and Kirsty, but Adam had whisked Jessica off to Paris, and Kirsty had left Holby, due to Warren's death so Zoe had stepped in, as well as Tess and Charlie.

The trolley was rushed to RESUS and Zoe, along with Robyn, were treating her.


"Miss Sharpe, can you come with me, please?" Ricky turned around to find herself coming face to face with Sergeant Emerson, an officer that she knew only too well.

"Sure " Ricky was in a state of shock. She got in to the car, looking out of the window.

When, she arrived at the station, Emerson opened the door and she got out, staring up at the building, she remembered the last time she was in here, she had admitted to her part in her brothers plan.

Emerson led her in to an empty interview room.

"For the benefit of the tape can you please confirm your name and address?" Emerson asked her, switching on the recorder.

"Erica Sharpe, 3 Olive Hill " She replied.

"Can you tell me what happened?" Emerson asked her.

"I left the taps on and she fell in to the bath, " Ricky stopped and thought for a moment, she felt bad as it could have been her son, she didn't know what she would do if she lost her, baby, Casey, she had already lost Brax.

"Please continue Miss Sharpe" said Sergeant Emerson.

Ricky nodded. "I went to check on the bath, it's then I discovered the girl lying face down in the bath, I pulled her out and shouted to Cal, he told me what to do. "

"What did you do?" Asked Emerson, making notes in his book.

"Cal told me to place my hands together on her chest and pound up and down until she started breathing again."

Emerson nodded.


"It's OK" Jessica said to Linda, Linda had just received a call from the hospital informing her that Sarah - Louise was in hospital. Jessica knew that Linda was in no fit state to drive, so she took her friends car keys and drove them to the hospital.

Zoe approached Linda and Jessica, as the doctor in charge of Sarah - Louise's treatment.

"We have put her on a ventilator, which will help her breathe. " Zoe explained, but both Linda and Jessica knew this.

"Can I see her?" Linda asked.

Zoe nodded as she stood up. "Of course "

Linda walked in to the room and choked back a sob as she saw that her daughter was in a child's gown, an IV in her wrist,

Jessica rubbed Linda's arm in support, it was horrible seeing your child in hospital, in pain and not being able to help, it made the parent feel useless.


Cal drove himself, Ricky back to the hospital. Baby Casey was asleep in his seat, a blanket over him to keep him warm.

"Hey, it's OK, mate " Ricky bounced baby Casey in her arms as she walked in to the hospital.

Cal was the first to spot Linda, she had a furious look on her face.

"Ricky?" She snapped, standing up.

"Yes" Ricky said, shifting baby Casey in to a more comfortable position.

Linda slapped Ricky across the face.

"Oi!" Cal shouted, stepping in front of Ricky.

"Cal, it's OK " Ricky put a hand to her stinging cheek.

Linda jabbed a finger in Ricky's face.

"I'll make sure that you never see your son again, and that you go to prison "

Ricky swallowed, she knew from Brax's experiences with prison, that it was horrible, she had almost gone to prison herself, but her sentence was suspended.


"Caleb?" Sergent Emerson was back in the interview room, talking to him.

"It's Cal " He replied, leaning back in his chair.

"Can you talk me through what happened?" Emerson asked, turning to a clean page in his book.

"Ricky already told you "

Emerson sighed. "I need to hear your version of events "

Cal rubbed a hand over his face. "I was watching the game and the girl got off the couch, heading up the stairs. Next thing I heard was Ricky screaming so I ran up to see what was wrong "

Emerson nodded again. "OK, thank you for your time "

Cal walked out of the station and headed back to the house. He found Ricky curled up on the couch, reading a book.

Wrapping his arm around her Cal placed a kiss in to her hair.


Jessica knew that Linda shouldn't be alone, so she suggested that Linda come back to her house.

"What if she dies?" Said Linda as the two of them sat in Amelia's bedroom.

"She'll be fine, " Said Jessica, taking a sip of her tea.

Sarah - Louise was special to Linda as she had, had a miscarriage with her ex - fiancé's baby, before coming back to Holby and briefly getting with former doctor Lenny Lyons, who was now up in Brighton. Lenny was unaware that Linda had been pregnant, so it had been up to Jessica to support her through the painful contractions and telling her she was going to be ok.


Cal and Ricky were in bed, Ethan had offered to take Casey for the night and Ricky had gratefully agreed, Cal had wrapped her in his arms, but Ricky kept shifting.

"Rick?" Cal asked.

Ricky wiped her eyes and looked at Cal. "I kept thinking that, that could have been Casey laying in that hospital bed "

"Hey. Shush. Ethan's got him, he's safe " Cal tried to reassure her.

But Ricky didn't feel reassured. Cal knew what he had to do. Reaching on the side table for his phone, he got Ethan's number up and pressed the green button.

"Hello" Ethan spoke.

"Hey bro, " Cal replied.

"Cal " Ethan replied. "What do you want?"

"Rick wants a word " Cal told him, handing his phone over to his partner.

"Is Casey OK?" Ricky questioned.

Ethan knew how special Casey was to his mum, he was her only child, she was trying with Cal, but they hadn't been successful in getting pregnant. Ricky knew she wanted another child, but she wanted to wait until Casey was a little bit older.

Ethan broke Ricky's thoughts. "He's fine. I'll bring him home in the morning "

"OK. " Ricky replied as she ended the call and handed the phone back to Cal.


Linda walked in to the hospital. Zoe had given Linda the news that she was waiting for: Sarah -Louise was off the ventilator and was now breathing for herself, with the help of an oxygen mask.


Jessica dropped Linda back off at her flat and stayed for a cup of tea. She was sitting in her old flat, the flat that she had brought when she had been pregnant with her 3rd child.


Ethan dropped Casey off at Cal's house.

"Where's Ricky?" Ethan asked.

"Don't know mate " Cal replied, taking Casey out of the car seat and taking him in to the living room as he placed him down on his play mat.


Ricky grabbed her handbag, Phoebe text her, telling her that she had some news to tell her, Ricky wondered what the news was. She drove to a small café and found Phoebe inside, sitting at a table.

"Hey Phoebe " Ricky kissed her friend on the cheek.

"Hey Rick " Phoebe replied, returning the kiss. "I've got something to tell you "

"What is it?" Ricky asked, taking a sip of her coffee.

"Ash and I broke up. " Phoebe looked down beat for a moment, before looking back up at Ricky.

"I'm sorry Phoebs " Ricky said.

Phoebe smiled. "Kyle and I are back together. "

Ricky was ecstatic for Phoebe. "That's fantastic "

"I should get Case, " Ricky replied as she hugged her friend.

"See you Rick, " Phoebe replied as she headed to her car.

"Bye Phoebe " Ricky replied, heading towards her own car and getting in to it, she put the keys in to the ignition and drove off to the house. She turned the radio on and hummed along to the song.

Inserting the key in the lock Ricky pushed open the door.

Ricky sat down beside Casey, who had stuck a rattle in to his mouth.

That's it Case" Ricky encouraged, holding on to his hands as he walked a few steps across the room. Cal clapped in encouragement as Casey grinned.

Ethan and Cal went for a pint while Ricky invited Phoebe over and she arrived with a bottle of Grant Burge Nebuchadnezzar Shiraz Cabernet Sauvignon. "I thought you could do with some company "

"Sounds great " Ricky smiled as Phoebe stepped in to the house and Ricky walked in to the kitchen to get two glasses.

She placed the glasses down and unscrewed the lid, pouring the liquid in to the two glasses.

Phoebe took a sip of her wine. Before turning to face Ricky.

"Did you know, the city of Melbourne, Australia, used to be called Batmania?" Phoebe said.

"Haha, I never knew that, " Ricky laughed. She was enjoying having Phoebe, here, she didn't say anything to Cal, but she missed her friends.

Phoebe took another sip and laughed along with her friend. "Neither did I; Kyle told me. You know after all the time I was living there when we first met, I didn't know that. "

You seem really happy to be back with Kyle, Phoebs," Ricky smiled.

"Yeah, I'm kind of glad things didn't work out with Ash. I guess it goes to say you never forget your first love,"

Ricky stopped as her mind thought of Brax - she was tired of thinking of Brax: he made his choice. He was her first love, but she had Cal as her priority now: that was her choice.

Through the baby monitor Ricky heard her son's cries. She got up of the couch and headed up the stairs, walking in to hers and Cal's room where Casey was crying in his cot. She soothed him.

"Shush mate" Ricky comforted, holding his hand.

Phoebe walked in to the bedroom.

"He does look like Brax, " Phoebe said, trying to be friendly.

"I don't want to be reminded of Brax, I'm with Cal now " Ricky snapped back.

All she wanted was to forget Brax - the man that had betrayed her.


Linda took Sarah - Louise to the park as it was her day off and she was getting sick of sitting in, staring at the same four walls.

Linda placed Sarah - Louise in to the swing and began pushing her, gently at first, then she began to go higher.

"Mummy more " She shouted.

Linda smiled.


"I need some air " Smiled Ricky as she put Casey in his pram, putting his blanket over him, swinging the bag over the handles.

Linda went over to Ricky, she sighed, wondering whether Linda was going to slap her again.

"Coffee?" Linda suggested, wanting to make up for hitting her.

"No " Ricky replied softly, standing up and pushing the pram away.

"I think that tired him out " Said Ricky as she pushed the pram back in to the house.

"Good " Cal wrapped his arms around her as he pulled her up the stairs, Ricky bit her lip as she knew what Cal wanted.

"That was... "

Ricky raked a hand through her hair. "Nice "

"Yep, " Cal replied as he kissed her.

Ricky laughed.

It felt good to laugh, she had, had a rough few days, she thought she would lose baby Casey to the social and that scared her.
